ALT Principles of Unity We Believe: ⦁ That Psychiatry is not a legitimate field of Medicine. ⦁ That psychiatry is a tool of Social Control which enforces conformity to the prevailing social order. ⦁ That “Mental illness” is a semantically absurd concept which falsely conflates the abstraction known as the “Mind” with the physical brain to mislead people into believing they have literal Diseases. ⦁ An end to all state support for Psychiatry, including but not limited to the use of psychiatric testimony in Legal proceedings; psychiatric screenings in Schools, prisons, and workplaces; licensing of psychiatrists; and the use of Public monies to support psychiatric programs or Research. We Assert — and plan to exercise — our right as an Oppressed class to Self-Determination.
